Heavyweight Curtis Blaydes commented on Josh Hewett's provocative behavior leading up to their fight. Blaydes said Hewett is trying to act like Colby Covington, though he acknowledged that Covington was actually good at his trash talk approach. Blaydes suggested that Hewett is simply trying to create viral video moments and stated he won't engage with him outside of fight week. He characterized interacting with Hewett at any other time as a waste of time. Blaydes made clear this confrontational style isn't for him.
